"Yes, that's right, it will be another trilogy tour", Robert Smith could be hears saying. "We will play Wild Mood Swings, The Cure, and 4:13 Dream. We really wanted to give our newer FAN something HE could look forward to."

Hi Craig! Thank you for the wonderful news! 2016 is already looking fantastic, and it's not even here yet! The presale "here" button for the Hollywood Bowl show doesn't appear to be linked. Happy Tuesday!!

Wild and unsubstantiated speculation ahead...but interesting that the band logo is from the 4:13 Dream Era and the canvass, abstract artwork also looks like it is from that era, no references to The Top, Kiss Me or Head on the Door album art...does this mean it could be 4:14 Scream Tour?

Fantastic news. Yay! Craig, I'm confused about the presale code for NYC. On your prior post (Robert's ALL CAPS) the code is listed as "DISINTEGRATION" and then here on this post it's "thecure2016". Cut and paste error?

I hate them announcing only three dates with the remaining TBA...Chicago is around 6-7 hours away from southwestern IN...don't know if I should wait and hope they come closer (St. Louis, Nashville, etc) or go ahead and buy Chicago...ARG!

Yeah, if only I knew whether the Cure will be in Minneapolis/St Paul in 2016. That's where I am. Oh well. I won't count on it and just get Chicago tix, I think. It's only about a 400-mile or 6 1/2 hour drive ;) Yikes!

But just to be clear, this is fantastic news and I would GLADLY drive to chicago to see the greatest alternative band the world has ever seen! My favorite band for life :) Would love to see a new Trilogy show, but given that I love virtually ALL their music, I would be okay with a show based around their hits... Although, I am more the Prayers for Rain, Same Deep Water as You, Short Term Effect, Cold, Faith, and other darker songs guy ;) But there is basically no song I dislike by this legendary band.

yeah, I second this. I'll be getting Chicago tickets anyway, and if Detroit is announced in Jan, I'll make the decision to sell (to someone here of course) or perhaps go to both. Had to travel to Cleveland last time and while it was a memorable experience, I'd really like a home state show this time out.

No, the Chicago presale is on Oct. 8th, Thursday. I will have all of the info posted on the page that morning. All you will need to do is to be signed into your account (if you don't have one, make it BEFORE Thursday!), follow the presale link, enter the presale code, and hope you were quick enough.

I wish I knew where the other dates will be. I hope they come to New Orleans but doubt it since they were just here in 2013. I couldn't mKe that show because my mom was very sick and in hospital. She just passed away and I've been in a funk. I hope I am able to see them I am in need of The Cure

Let's hope they put out a new album. A real new album of new material. The 4:14 Scream stuff would be great. One would think after 8 years, and a new lineup, they could come up with brand new material.

I want to second that I think the artwork maybe does tie into 4:14 Scream... maybe a double push with WISH remastered would be great.

Anyways, I was fortunate enough to see The Cure on their previous trip to The Hollywood Bowl and their performance of Underneath the Stars was simply magic. Does anybody have any ideas or speculation why it doesn't show up more often in recent setlists?

Craig , if I'm not suppose to put this here please let me know and I'll delete it . I am thinking about traveling around to see all of The Cure shows in USA. but, reluctant to go alone. i was wondering if anyone else might be thinking about or traveling around to see this legendary band in concert . If anyone wants to contact me, my email mindycaruso@yahoo.com. Thanks
